Boom Room

A mysterious tip has led you outside of the enemy bunker.
You’ve been on the enemy’s trail after suspecting their plans to destroy important historical and cultural landmarks around the world – and now you’ve finally located their hideout.
You manage to sneak into the bunker when suddenly, the door behind you slams shut and locks. You have walked into a trap!
The bunker is rigged to explode and the clock is ticking.
Can you escape before the room goes boom?
* Make this a Junior Escape by selecting the option during the booking process. For ages 7 - 12.

Serial Killer Charade

A string of disappearances has been flooding the media recently and police have blocked off a large forested area. Word has spread that the disappearances are linked to witchcraft and strange rituals - others suspect there is a killer on the loose. Weeks have passed and you decide to take matters into your own hands.
You form a search party and venture off deep into the woods, determined to find answers. After a long day of fruitless search, your group is exhausted and sets up camp for the night.
Where you awaken is when your nightmare truly begins...

Stranded

After years of exploring the outer limits of space, you and your crew are returning back to Earth when your spaceship encounters serious technical failure.
You are forced to crash land on a mysterious planet. The crew survives but your ship is destroyed beyond repair and oxygen levels are running dangerously low.
There are no signs of life on this desolate planet, but off in the distance, there are remnants of what appears to be wreckage of an alien spacecraft.
You are stranded but could this be your ticket home?
*This experience requires a small amount of climbing, or the physical ability to do so

De-composed

Escape reality in Canada's First Multiplayer Virtual Reality (VR) Escape Room!
You and your friends have been invited to a private concert of newly discovered music by the brilliant and demented composer, Hans Komisch, recently deceased. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to venture into the realm of true genius and discover the madness behind the music.
Upon entering his mansion, you realize that the invitation was a trap... you have all been transformed into ghosts! Your souls will serve as the crucial pieces to his final opus.
You must defeat the inner workings of his mansion and his mind so you can recover your human forms, before they get completely... DE-COMPOSED!
*This experience takes place entirely in VR. Contacts or narrow-rimmed glasses are advised.
*This experience is youth-friendly for ages 7 and up

Deliverance

Not your traditional escape.
You are on your last pizza delivery of the night.
You arrive and the lights are off. Your knocking goes unanswered.
Returning with an undelivered pizza could cost you your job and you need the 'dough' badly. The stakes are high but this is your chance to show your boss that you can deliver under pressure.
* This experience is two floors. Must be able to climb stairs.

Are the rooms actually locked?

The escape will be locked, but the entrance is open to leave in the case of emergencies. Players concerned with claustrophobia can rest assured the spaces are large and there is plenty of room to explore. Concerns over loud noises/darkness can be addressed as well via your Games Host.
